How an Editor Cleaned a Stove.

Experience teaches, though it costs,
and We who have had il 1,i p,i,l for it
Should imp.rl it to the pubi;r.
Quite IL number Of years ago | was
running a one-horsc weekly paper in
Illinois. The composition room and
editorial room and press room were
comprised in mi apartment. aud one
stove warmed the entire establishment.
We burned soft coal, and the pipe
became clogged with SCOT until there
was no draught TO the stove. l had
heard that %gunpowder vas 4 good
thing to clear on SCOT. and | tried the
experiment, pouring >om" powder on a
piece Of paper. twisting up the paper,
pitching it into the stove. shutting the
door and awaiting the result.
The experiment was elective. hut ii
was some time '"i' ~ ] recovered
from the effects sufficiently to apprcei.
ate the effectiveness. The sout was
completely removed to the cases, the
editorial table and every thing else
in the room, and it took us two or three
days to get rid of it. OF course there
was no SCOT in the new stove and pipe
when had bargained for them and put
them up, but ! have sometimes thought
that it might have been better to begin
the business at that end. Perhaps II
twisted the paper a little too tight.

JEFFERSON COUNTY COAL.
An Important Mineral Hind Seal
RoFs IOYHSeHd

port To,r~se,,I CaHI
1t IS probably not very generally
known that coal has been found with
in a few miles of Port Townsend, but
nevertheless such is the fact.
Very recently d. W. Smith and
Capt. l. b. Hastings purchased 100
acres Of land fronting Il half mile on
Discovery bay, little expecting they
were buying coal land Soon after
the purchase, however, they were in
form ed that coal had been found OH
this land, and last Saturday they went
over in company with H. Z. Morgan
to examine the land. James Wood
man, who lives near, went as guide,
and an hours walk up a deep gulch
filled with fallen timber and a thick
underground brought the party to
several places where coal of good
quality cropped out from from blue
sandstone said to be exactly like that
at the Departure Bay mines. Well
pleased with their trip the party re
turned bringing with them samples of
coal which are now to be seen ut the
office of d. W. Smith. The groupings
found are not three-eighths of mile
from Discovery bay, and within eight
miles of Union wharf III this city.
Messrs. Smith and Hastings feel
satisfied that they have coal because
the rock (Which has been sent to the
Government Assayer at Victoria to
be eXamined) is the same as that at
Departure Bay; because it is in line
with groupings found by Albert Briggs
and the late j. L. Pugh on the other
side of Discovery bay-also in line
with groupings found near Scow Bay
in this county, and with the coal found
on the Skagit river.
They propose to either get others
interested and bore down with a dia-
mond drill, giving them an interest,
or to get the drill and bore at their
own expense. One thing is certain if
coal is found so near a good harbor and
so near Port Townsend rs this, it will
create 4 revolution in manufacturing
on Discovery and Townsend bays, and
give to Port Townsend n prominence
second to no city on the Sound.

Senator Stanford and Party.

Senator Leland Stanford AMI wife,
Col f. Crocker and Col. a. \. Towne
arrived in Port Townsend on Tues
day. Senator Stanford and Col!
Towne were taken for a drive around
the city by Mr.. A. w. Bash and spent
half an hour or so in Port Townsend.
Mrs. Stanford was engaged while i'll
this city in purchasing Indian curios
of which she has made q large coilec-
ton on the Sound. These are to be
placed in the Stanford college in
California, now in process Of cree ION
and which by the way, is to be one of
the best educational institutions In the
United States. Fro II Port Townsend
the Stanford party went to Victoria.
On the subject of railroads nothing
could be learned from the railway mag
mates although they sought and OBJ
tanned while here a good deal of in
formation about the proposed new
line from Port Townsend to the Col
umbia river. Stanford inquired about
the country through which this new
road would pass; asked about the tim
Der, coal and agricultural resources.
He thought that we had here a grand
harbor, a beautiful location and saw
no reason why we should not be
blessed with abundant prosperity in
the future.

Mr.. W. y. SEYMoRE, PoRr Towy-
SEND. WASH. TER.-,Sir Your COM
munication addressed to Lieutenant
Frank Greene, signal corps, and by
him forwarded on August 20, 1887,
relative 10 the military telegraph
line between Port Angeles and Ia
to0sh Island, and the display OF sig
mails at TatOosh Island, has been re-
ceived. l beg to say IN reply that /
fully appreciate what you say On the
subject
The telegraph line was originally
bailt and has been ever since main
tanned as well as possible without
any special appropriation The peo-
pie OF the Pacific coast and their
representatives in congress have
failed TO secure any appropriation for
the purpose. Considering such fail
ure, the difficulty IN maintaining the
line in that rough and heavily tim
bered country, and the cable to
Tatoosh Island, and the small appro-
priations available for the purpose,
it IS believed that this Office has done
all in It's power for the benefit OF the
maritime interests OF that section.
However, an especial effort will be
make TO man that line SO asto keep it in
good working order the coming
winter by Tepairmen at Crescent bay,
Pyscht, Hoko, and Neah Bay.
Also, wind signal display station
viii be ordered established at Tatoosh
Island without delay, which it is re-
GREETED has not been done before.
The cable to Tatoosh Island is now
in good working order and it is hoped
it may so continue.
I thank you for your commurica-
ton and hope you las well as all
othersl will bring to the attention of
this Office, at any time, such matters
as you may feel should be, and prop
erly come within its jurisdiction.
am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

Low Rate of Interest.

New YORK, Sept. 22-The Times says:
Money was loaned on call on the street

was plentiful. Lenders late In the
afternoon gave up their efforts to obtain
6 per cent. A bank president who has
control of millions of money says he had
just been renewing time loans at 5 per
cent for four and six months and year.
He ayowe1 that the scare that had such
a grip on the financial and commercial
community is largely the result of mani
pulations by the biggest money holders,
either ranged as spectators on the bear
side, or anxious to see such stFingency
produced as will put up the rate for
